their paths must have crossed for a reason, and if it's so he can help guide this stranger on a path to learn more about what happened, then that is the role he will play.[break][break]

He was a bit surprised when he successfully convinced the Gym Leader. He thought it would have taken more than that, partly due to his cynical nature. "My name's Zata; My brother's Raul, Raul Nefertum."

Given what he learnt in Mauville, a name wouldn't be enough for him to get the answers he wanted from a Gym Leader. "He was a Ranger." He briefly avoided eye contact as he looked at the earth below, "I have yet to know where he was stationed. But if he was stationed here, I'd like to know what he went through," He looked back up at the Gym Leader, re-establishing eye contact as he spoke the last line.

it's a long shot but cian's careful optimism leaks through, showing in the way he thinks it'll be easy to find information. reality can often be depressing, however, and there's no mistaking the fact that raul nefertum is but one name in a sea of others lost to time.[break][break]

"i can check."[break][break]

he corrects himself.[break][break]

"i will check. and if he wasn't stationed here, then i'll ask around."[break][break]

pulling out his phone, he starts typing up a text to head ranger ollie morales, but looks back up to ask:[break][break]

"how do you spell your last name?"

The young trainer thought he misheard the Gym Leader. That was when the man corrected himself. Zata was nothing but flabbergasted. It took him a while to register what just happened. When the Gym Leader pulled out his phone and asked him how to spell his last name, Zata got tongue-tied for a while.

When he finally recollected himself, he answered, "N-E-F-E-R-T-U-M.". He didn't know why but he could feel his heartbeat racing. Was this it? He didn't expect it to be this easy. There had to be a catch.

If Cian were to receive the information available through the ranger's database he would learn that Raul Nefertum for years worked at the Pokemon Sanctuary of Fortree Gym, one of many of Alexei Ivanov loyal rangers. During the Ultra Beast War, he was stationed in Lilycove. After the war ended, Raul Nefertum was classified as MISSING, but after failure of discovering his whereabouts and/or his body. He was presumed dead. But it might take awhile for the data to be relayed from whoever he was texting.

Awkwardness finally dawned onto Zata as he stood there in silence, not only had he disturbed this gentleman's day but he begged and insisted him to help him. While they're waiting for a response, Zata would then offer, as a conscience of guilt, "I-" He begun but was momentarily lost for words, "I appreciate you for doing this. Is there anything I can do to repay your generosity? Umm," He thought of what he could offer, and being an alcoholic of course the first thing that came to mind was, "A drink?".

With the utmost care and delicacy, not letting there be any chance he might accidentally break the thing, he took the Gym Leader's phone. With his coarse fingers he slowly typed in his number. With the speed at which he typed anyone could tell that he was not used to using a phone. The only reason he had one was because his previous job required him so, otherwise he had no need for it. Once he finished typing he handed it back to the Gym Leader.

Feeling shy, he rubbed his neck. He truly did not feel comfortable having someone be that nice to him. However odd that might sound. "Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. I owe you a favor." He got it out of the way, a drink wouldn't attest to the level of favor the Gym Leader had done for him. So he spoke in words a contract that the Gym Leader might one day use to have him do a service to return the favor.
